Seven US Troops Killed Today in Iraq
But the MSM doesn't give a fuck, because Madonna is adopting a baby.

2. Seven?
Oh god. I guess the liberal media won't talk about it much since it's so close to an election.

4. "Things are going very, very, well in Iraq" Gen. Peter Patch
Especially for morticians and gravediggers.

5. "Hey, they were volunteers. They signed up, so...."
I'm pretty sure that's what G. Gorden Libby said about Cindy Sheehan's son in a recent interview... on the Insannity and Combed-Over Show...

8. Seven families. And their friends...
Edited on Mon Oct-16-06 04:37 PM by Cooley Hurd
...all of which have to DEAL with the loss of someone they loved.

I fucking HATE those who MINIMIZE THEIR deaths - those who EXCUSE the LIES and the FUTILITY in the name of so-called PATRIOTISM!

May they ALL experience the PAIN of the families of our fallen soldiers! Every LAST ONE OF THEM!!!!!:grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr:

I'm watching these numbers very carefully given that explosion last week.

Who will help their families now - certainly not Bushco.

edit - add.

14. I suspect the numbers will be very high this week
I need proof that there weren't several casualties in that explosion last week otherwise I'll take it that some of these numbers are linked to that explosion. The families will soon be talking.

21. You think they are dribbling the deaths out to
cover for those who died in that Ammo Explosion? To tell you the truth that was in the back of my mind. That we'd see numbers go up this week if that Ammo Dump was the disaster many of us think it was. :-( Whatever the reason the deaths are up and that's very bad.

15. The BFEE doesn't care and Americans don't want to know.
And that, in a nutshell, is the truth of the very
fucked up matter.

18. Seven - holy shit!
If this becomes the worst month since the war began, will it become a more significant issue in this election then?
